JALSA:
THE UNLIMITED SPIRITUAL AUTOBAHN TO GOD
The word Jalsa is far more than a sitting or a meeting. In the light of human unity it is the great equalizer: king and commoner sit side by side. It is the communion of hearts, a sanctuary without borders, and a circle of spiritual oneness.
When organised by those who accepted Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as Imam Mahdi and Promised Messiah (as), it is invited to become an unlimited speedway — an Autobahn of the soul with no speed limit and no frontier of nation, colour or creed.
True Jalsas emerge unity, oneness among human beings, and ultimately the Oneness of the Merciful God.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) declared that his prime duty was to revive the connection between human beings and the Merciful God.
The question that must gently yet firmly touch every heart is this: Are we truly following and strengthening that connection?
The special responsibility rests first on those who hold various offices and serve at the different levels of the Ahmadiyya administrative system.
From the first Jalsa Salana of 1891 with only 75 souls, these gatherings have grown into global events. Their purposes remain pure: increase communion with the Merciful God, gain knowledge, strengthen brotherhood, and pray for the departed.
Yet the deeper measure is not the size of marquees. It is whether participants leave as permanently transformed beings.
Do the poor, the orphans, the widows and every fellow human being — for no human can ever be a stranger to another when we belong to the same race — feel practical mercy flowing from those who claim to be the followers of the Promised Messiah (as),?
May every Jalsa become a lifelong engine of spiritual progress rather than remain only an annual gathering of identity. Amen
There is only one spiritual Autobahn that can carry a body and a soul together at unlimited speed toward the Merciful God.
It is not ritual alone and not slogans alone. It is the fierce, daily, practical respect and help given to the poor, the orphans, the widows and every human being in need — regardless of where they were born and regardless of the religion they claim or do not claim.
Feeding the needy is the fuel of every spiritual vehicle.
After realising the pure philosophy of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), one sees that his philosophy surrounds every human without exception — love for Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists and people of every religion or of no religion.
Building homes for the homeless is far more important than any display of organisational strength.
Those who will be blessed are already blessed to move with full accelerator on this Autobahn. They are the real ones who move without ego and without showing or claiming themselves better than others.
The most important duty for them is to carry those who do not move, or do not yet move with such speed, with love, respect and dignity.
If we truly accept him as Imam Mahdi, the deepest duty is to look more deeply within ourselves — and especially within those who carry administrative responsibility.
Outer organisation is a valuable shell; the inner reality is continuous acceleration of compassion.
Strengthening the living connection with the Merciful God in this very world, meeting Him and experiencing His love in this life, is far more important.
One clear and blessed path to reach these divine gifts is to build respectful connections with every human being and to help the needy with sincerity, dignity and love.
May every Jalsa increasingly reflect the founder’s purpose. Amen
The connection with the Merciful God is revived when the speed becomes unlimited and the destination is the dignity of every human heart.

Rights of the Ways: Correct Car Parking – The True Mark of Ahmadi Character
راستوں کے حقوق ۔ کار پارکنگ اور حقوق العباد
عرض کیا گیا کہ یا رسول اللہ! راستوں کے حق کیا ہیں؟ تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ نظریں نیچی رکھا کرو۔ دکھ دینے سے بچو کہ یہ راستے کا حق ہے۔ سلام کا جواب دو کہ یہ راستے کا حق ہے۔ نیک بات کی تلقین کرو اور بری بات سے روکو کہ یہ راستے کا حق ہے۔ (صحیح البخاری کتاب المظالم والغضب باب افنیۃ الدور والجلوس فیھا … الخ حدیث2465)
راستوں کے حقوق میں درست جگہ کار پارک کرنا بھی شامل ہے۔ پارکنگ اس طرح کرنا کہ آنے جانے والوں کو تکلیف ہو، غلط رخ پر اپنی گاڑیاں کھڑی کر دینا یہ بھی راستوں کے حقوق کی عدم ادائیگی ہے۔ ایک اور اہم امر یہ بھی ہے کہ بعض ذمہ داران، بااختیار افراد جب اپنے اپنے اختیارات کا ناجائز استعمال کریں اور اپنے لیے بہترین پارکنگ پہلے ہی عام عوام کے لیے بند کر دیں، کوئی بھی بہانہ بنا کر، یہ ناصرف راستوں کے حقوق کی عدم ادائگی ہے بلکہ حقوق العباد کی بھی عدم ادائگی ہے۔
دین اسلام کی وہ سرسبز شاخ جسے دنیا میں احمدیت کے نام سے جانتی ہے، اس شاخ سے وابستہ ہر شخص، ہر احمدی کو چاہیے کہ راستوں کے حقوق کا خیال رکھے، راستوں کے حقوق کا احترام کرے۔ ذمہ داران اور بااختیار افراد بھی آسان پارکنگ لاٹس بغیر کسی جائز عذر کے لیے اپنے اور اپنے جاننے والوں کے لیے قابو کر کے نہ رکھیں، اس سے معاشرے میں بددلی بھی پیدا ہوتی ہے اور یہ عمل تکلیف دہ بھی ہے۔
ہمیں نبی کریم ﷺ کی اس حدیث پر عمل کرنا چاہیے تاکہ معاشرہ خوشگوار اور باہمی احترام والا بنے۔
Rights of the Ways: Correct Car Parking – The True Mark of Ahmadi Character
It was said: “O Messenger of Allah! What are the rights of the ways?”
The Prophet ﷺ replied: “Lower your gaze. Avoid causing harm, for that is a right of the way. Return the greeting, for that is a right of the way. Enjoin good and forbid evil, for that is a right of the way.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Oppressions, Hadith 2465)
These words of the Holy Prophet ﷺ are not limited to lowering the eyes or exchanging greetings. They teach us that every action we take on public ways carries a moral responsibility. In today’s world, one of the clearest tests of this responsibility is how we park our cars.
Correct car parking is not a small matter — it is a direct expression of the rights of the way. Parking in a way that blocks others, causes inconvenience, or forces people to walk in the middle of the street violates the very spirit of the Hadith. Parking against the flow of traffic or in no-parking zones shows the same disregard for the rights of fellow human beings. These small acts of carelessness create daily frustration and reflect poorly on our character.
Even more serious is the misuse of authority. When responsible officials or influential individuals use their positions to reserve the best parking spaces for themselves and their close ones — while keeping ordinary people away with excuses — they fail on two counts. They violate the rights of the way and, more gravely, they violate the rights of the people's (Huquq-ul-Ibad). Islam does not permit anyone to exploit public facilities for personal convenience.
The verdant branch of Islam known to the world as Ahmadiyyat carries a special responsibility in this regard. Every Ahmadi — whether an ordinary member or someone in a position of authority — must set the highest standard in respecting the rights of the way. We should park our vehicles properly, considerately, and without causing trouble to others. Those in leadership or official roles must never block easy parking facilities for the general public without a valid and transparent reason. Such practices breed resentment in society and cause unnecessary hardship.
By upholding these simple rights, we prove the beauty of our faith in everyday life. Correct parking is not just traffic etiquette — it is a practical demonstration of the Ahmadi character: humble, considerate, and mindful of the rights of others.
Let every Ahmadi remember: the Prophet ﷺ taught us that the way itself has rights. Fulfilling those rights through small acts of courtesy, including proper car parking, is part of building true Ahmadi character and earning the pleasure of Allah. Others may also benefit from this message if they choose to reflect upon it.

The Prophet ﷺ replied: “Lower your gaze. Avoid causing harm, for that is a right of the way. Return the greeting, for that is a right of the way. Enjoin good and forbid evil, for that is a right of the way.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Oppressions, Hadith 2465)
These words of the Holy Prophet ﷺ are not limited to lowering the eyes or exchanging greetings. They teach us that every action we take on public ways carries a moral responsibility. In today’s world, one of the clearest tests of this responsibility is how we park our cars.
Correct car parking is not a small matter — it is a direct expression of the rights of the way. Parking in a way that blocks others, causes inconvenience, or forces people to walk in the middle of the street violates the very spirit of the Hadith. Parking against the flow of traffic or in no-parking zones shows the same disregard for the rights of fellow human beings. These small acts of carelessness create daily frustration and reflect poorly on our character.
Even more serious is the misuse of authority. When responsible officials or influential individuals use their positions to reserve the best parking spaces for themselves and their close ones — while keeping ordinary people away with excuses — they fail on two counts. They violate the rights of the way and, more gravely, they violate the rights of the people's (Huquq-ul-Ibad). Islam does not permit anyone to exploit public facilities for personal convenience.
The verdant branch of Islam known to the world as Ahmadiyyat carries a special responsibility in this regard. Every Ahmadi — whether an ordinary member or someone in a position of authority — must set the highest standard in respecting the rights of the way. We should park our vehicles properly, considerately, and without causing trouble to others. Those in leadership or official roles must never block easy parking facilities for the general public without a valid and transparent reason. Such practices breed resentment in society and cause unnecessary hardship.
By upholding these simple rights, we prove the beauty of our faith in everyday life. Correct parking is not just traffic etiquette — it is a practical demonstration of the Ahmadi character: humble, considerate, and mindful of the rights of others.
Let every Ahmadi remember: the Prophet ﷺ taught us that the way itself has rights. Fulfilling those rights through small acts of courtesy, including proper car parking, is part of building true Ahmadi character and earning the pleasure of Allah. Others may also benefit from this message if they choose to reflect upon it.
Rights of the Ways: Correct Car Parking – The True Mark of Ahmadi Character
راستوں کے حقوق ۔ کار پارکنگ اور حقوق العباد
عرض کیا گیا کہ یا رسول اللہ! راستوں کے حق کیا ہیں؟ تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ نظریں نیچی رکھا کرو۔ دکھ دینے سے بچو کہ یہ راستے کا حق ہے۔ سلام کا جواب دو کہ یہ راستے کا حق ہے۔ نیک بات کی تلقین کرو اور بری بات سے روکو کہ یہ راستے کا حق ہے۔ (صحیح البخاری کتاب المظالم والغضب باب افنیۃ الدور والجلوس فیھا … الخ حدیث2465)
راستوں کے حقوق میں درست جگہ کار پارک کرنا بھی شامل ہے۔ پارکنگ اس طرح کرنا کہ آنے جانے والوں کو تکلیف ہو، غلط رخ پر اپنی گاڑیاں کھڑی کر دینا یہ بھی راستوں کے حقوق کی عدم ادائیگی ہے۔ ایک اور اہم امر یہ بھی ہے کہ بعض ذمہ داران، بااختیار افراد جب اپنے اپنے اختیارات کا ناجائز استعمال کریں اور اپنے لیے بہترین پارکنگ پہلے ہی عام عوام کے لیے بند کر دیں، کوئی بھی بہانہ بنا کر، یہ ناصرف راستوں کے حقوق کی عدم ادائگی ہے بلکہ حقوق العباد کی بھی عدم ادائگی ہے۔
دین اسلام کی وہ سرسبز شاخ جسے دنیا میں احمدیت کے نام سے جانتی ہے، اس شاخ سے وابستہ ہر شخص، ہر احمدی کو چاہیے کہ راستوں کے حقوق کا خیال رکھے، راستوں کے حقوق کا احترام کرے۔ ذمہ داران اور بااختیار افراد بھی آسان پارکنگ لاٹس بغیر کسی جائز عذر کے لیے اپنے اور اپنے جاننے والوں کے لیے قابو کر کے نہ رکھیں، اس سے معاشرے میں بددلی بھی پیدا ہوتی ہے اور یہ عمل تکلیف دہ بھی ہے۔
ہمیں نبی کریم ﷺ کی اس حدیث پر عمل کرنا چاہیے تاکہ معاشرہ خوشگوار اور باہمی احترام والا بنے۔
